For the Skeptics

Seems as if the first element of these jumping crutches works right out of the box...

I gotta say, this is encouraging. After pulling these two Powerisers out of the box, I was able to start bouncing around on them without the assistance of a torso device. The thing that most immediately stood out to me was how remarkably easy it was to balance on these things. Staying low to the ground kept my center of gravity pretty consistent to what I'm used to. And while the bounce doesn't seem too impressive from this video, you need to keep in mind that the arm crutches will be used mostly as shock absorbers - relying instead on the torso spring to provide the main thrust.
Now I just gotta get to fabricating the main torso device... Tagged as:cheetah legs, Kevin Michael Connolly, Open Prosthetics Project, prosthetics, technology
